Hong Kong Movies: You Hongxingzi, what the hell is the charity king?

Chapter 907 "19" The President's Family Banquet! Establishing My Own Media Group!
new York,

Happiness Property Management.

Top floor, conference room.

Beneath the crystal chandelier was a long conference table.

A dozen or so directors/director representatives sat on either side.

The wall clock already pointed to 10:10, a full 10 minutes later than the scheduled meeting time.

"Not coming yet?"

Is this a show of force to intimidate us?

"Damn Chinese!"

The directors/representatives of the Democratic Party Capital were filled with rage.

Since Jimmy was injured at the end of last year, they have taken control of the management of Happiness Property and are doing everything as before.

I originally thought that Happiness Property Management would continue to grow stronger.

As a result, Xingfu Property Management's territory was constantly swallowed up by the neighboring Family Property Management, and it suffered a series of defeats.

Now more than half a year has passed.

The higher-ups couldn't take it anymore and had no choice but to reluctantly ask Jimmy to come back and become the chairman.

and,

They also paid the price for their foolish actions: they gave up a total of 30% of the shares and transferred them to Jimmy for $1.

Not giving?

Jimmy says: I'm going to develop New Wo Luen Shing... oh wait, I mean New Happiness Property!

Faced with this coercion,

These Democratic capitalists could only humiliatingly hand over 30% of their shares, feeling utterly ashamed.

At this point, Jimmy holds a total of 65% of the shares.

The wall clock ticks away, its pages turning incessantly.

10:15,

Squeak~~~
The heavy conference room door was pushed open.

Everyone looked up instantly, their eyes all turning towards the doorway.

Jimmy was wearing a well-tailored dark gray suit, followed by his secretary, Leonardo DiCaprio, who was also dressed in a suit.

Walked in.

The great Mr. Li Jiayuan has arrived at his loyal Happiness Property!

"Chairman!"

"Chairman!"

Although I was annoyed, I had no choice but to accept it.

"Let us warmly welcome Chairman Li back!!"

Splash splash~~~~~
The previously quiet conference room suddenly erupted in thunderous applause.

"Chairman Li, you're finally back!"

"With Chairman Li back, the spring of happiness for property management has arrived!"

Several directors stood up excitedly, clapping their hands vigorously.

Someone even 'secretly' wiped the corner of their eye.

Jimmy: "…………"

Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael Jordan: "…………"

Very good, they're all actors.

I love this atmosphere!
Jimmy's lipstick!

Jimmy raised his hand and made two light taps, and the applause gradually subsided.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting. I had some trivial matters to take care of on the way."

"Not long, not long!"

"The chairman is very busy, it's alright if we wait a little longer!"

"We should be the ones waiting for you!"

“Since you left, your family’s property management has taken over half of our territory. If this continues, our Happiness Property Management will collapse sooner or later!”

"Yes, Chairman, we are relieved as long as you return to take charge!"

Jimmy tapped the table lightly with his fingertip, his gaze sweeping over every face in the room:

"Rest assured, everyone. Now that I'm back, let's work together to rebuild the glory of Happiness Property Management!"

As soon as he finished speaking, enthusiastic applause rang out again in the conference room.

Although they didn't like Li Jiayuan coming back.

Although they resented Li Jiayuan's return and his pressure on them to hand over their shares.

However, one thing is undeniable.

When Li Jiayuan returned to his position, their confidence returned.

And after this incident,
Everyone realized that they couldn't take Happiness Property Management away!
It was destined to be held in the hands of Li Jiayuan, a Chinese man.

They were unwilling to accept it, yet powerless to do anything about it.

……

With Jimmy's return,

The Happiness Property Management Group, which was originally filled with anxiety, has now become united and its morale has been greatly stabilized.

Then, they launched various offensives in New York State and other East Coast states, competing with their family's properties.

For a time,

The competition between the two sides was fierce, involving a battle of wits and courage.

They presented a situation of equal footing.

……

In addition, something else happened.

Jimmy has officially signed an equity transaction with Facebook, acquiring a 10% stake in the company. In return, Facebook has secured the assistance of Happiness Property in promoting Facebook on the East Coast.

It's worth mentioning that these shares have absolutely no connection to Yidian Xingfu Property; they are held by a company established by Jimmy.

So far,

Guan Zu already effectively owns 12% + 26% + 10% of the shares.

At that time, Zuckerberg thought that since the three parties were different companies, they would definitely compete with each other, especially since they were both Democrats and Republicans.

……

……

White Palace.

Oval Office at White House.

After signing a document, Bu Shi glanced at his watch.

It's almost time.

At that moment, the secretary came in. "Mr. President, Representative Kwan's car has just passed through security and will be arriving at the main building entrance soon."

Bu Shi looked up: "Okay!"

He got up and walked towards the foyer.

This time, he made an unprecedented move by inviting a minor New York senator to a dinner party at White House.

All of this is because of the impressive family properties owned by Guan Zu.

With the Umbrella and Happiness properties under their control, the Democratic Party's popular support is becoming increasingly solid. Last time, Li Fu, the owner of the Umbrella property, even refused an invitation to a dinner party at the White House, firmly standing by the Democratic Party.

Family property is the only counterforce the Republican Party can offer, and they must capitalize on this card.

"Mr. President, they have arrived," the bodyguard announced in a low voice.

Bu Shi immediately put on a smile and went to the door to greet him.

At this moment, he saw a black convoy approaching from 30 meters away and then coming to a steady stop at the foot of the White Palace steps.

Guan Zu got out of the car, his black suit making him look tall and straight, followed by two secretaries.

When Bu Shi’s daughter, Jenna, saw Guan Zu’s appearance, her eyes lit up.

It's her type!

"Mr. Guan, welcome to Bai Mei Palace!" Bu Shi stepped forward, grasped Guan Zu's hand, and shook it vigorously.

"Mr. President, you are too kind. It is my honor to have you here at the White House for the banquet." Guan Zu said with a look of 'respect'.

Then the First Lady shook hands with Guan Zu.

“These are my two daughters…”

"Greetings, ladies..."

"Please come in." Bu Shi led him inside, the two walking side by side. "Mr. Guan, your family's property management has performed exceptionally well in terms of people's livelihood... I have high hopes for you; you are a rising star in the Republican Party, so this time I specially chose a family dinner to keep things relaxed..."

First, we chatted...

Soon, it was dinnertime.
The servants served truffle mushroom tarts, Boston lobster, truffle porcini soup, slow-roasted M5 Wagyu ribeye, pan-seared Alaskan king crab legs, and a platter of roasted seasonal vegetables in turn...

It's a separate-meal system.

As Bu Shi cut a piece of beef, he asked casually, "Mr. Guan, I heard you're still single?"

Guan Zu nodded: "I used to be busy with work, and now I'm busy with company matters."

“That won’t do.” Bu Shi put down his knife and fork. “For a man to mature, marriage is essential… I know quite a few outstanding women, all from prestigious families. Shall I introduce you to them another day?”

The First Lady chimed in, "Yes, Mr. Guan is handsome and dashing; he'll definitely be very popular."

The twins next to him were giving him flirtatious glances.

They graduated from university last year, typical college queens, and had a wild life.

Seeing such an outstanding man, I can't help but want to give it a try.

Guan Zu sensed the unspoken message from the two.

unfortunately,

I refuse!
You're not the eldest daughter of the Tax Lord, that one is indeed quite good.

Forget about you two.

Guan Zu smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. and Mrs. President. Right now, I want to focus on taking care of my family's property first."

"It's good that you have the heart, but personal matters also need to be taken care of." Bush raised his glass. "Come on, cheers! I hope my family and property become stronger and stronger, so that our Republican Party can have more confidence!"

"Cheers," Guan Zu replied, raising his glass.

3 hours later,

Guan Zu left Bai Mei Palace, and the slight intoxication vanished instantly.

in the car,

Bodyguards Lee Christmas and Barney Ross reminisced, "We never thought we'd be able to have dinner at White House today."

Guan Zu glanced at them and looked down on them: "Look at you two, you're so cheap... So what if you're president? When I'm elected president, I'll live in White House, and you two will be the heads of the Secret Service!"

Li Shengyin and Barney Ross: "!!!!"

Their eyes lit up!
The Secret Service is directly responsible for the main security of the White House and the personal safety of the President, Vice President and their families. It is the "first line of defense" for the White House security and has about 6500 agents.

Being the head of the Secret Service sounds awesome!
Boss, be loyal!

Loyalty levels are skyrocketing!

What 10 years? I'll follow my boss for life!!
Then the two looked at each other!
Eyes met, sizzling sounds~~~~
I challenge you to a sword fight; whoever wins becomes the head of the Secret Service!
……

……

After the White Palace tour,
Guan Zu returned to New York.

I changed my identity and then chatted with Jimmy about media issues.

a hotel.

"Although Facebook and KTV played a significant role in this smear campaign by the Republicans."

"but!"

"It also exposed a problem: our propaganda channels are completely inadequate, and mainstream media are controlled by Jews, Democrats, and Republicans."

"Therefore, the next thing we need to do is acquire a TV station to form our own publicity matrix, so as not to be passive!"

Jimmy: "I support Brother Zu!"

Kwan Cho: "Do you remember how ATV developed? Through strong public support, ATV obtained a continuous stream of first-hand news, gradually raising its viewership to number one in Hong Kong Island."

"The same method can be used in the United States."

Jimmy nodded

Guan Zu: "You and Xiao Fu can discuss the specifics of how to do it. Don't worry about spending money; we have plenty of money now."

With the size of Umbrella Properties and its investments over the past decade, its assets in the United States exceed $200 billion.

Definitely a large amount of capital.

……

……

quickly,

Jimmy and Little Fortune met up and discussed their plan.

Then they started sending people to investigate which TV stations and newspapers could be acquired.

After some investigation
Several targets were identified.

First is Viacom (which includes CBS television). Due to stagnant stock prices and internal management conflicts, it announced a split plan in March 2005. It is still in contact and negotiations with various capital firms, preparing to split up and retain 35 local television stations, while more than 10 other local television stations will be sold.

In addition, Time Warner also spun off some media resources and restructured them...

……

In September,

With the financial backing of the well-funded property management company,

In just over a month,
Umbrella Properties successfully acquired 25 local television stations and 43 newspapers, covering major cities on the East Coast, West Coast, and Midwest of the United States.

then,

In mid-August, Xiao Fu announced the official establishment of "Liberty Media Group," integrating all television resources and transforming it into a new media force.

Although it is still very small, it is far from being as powerful as the current media giants: News Corporation (Murdoch), Time Warner, Universal NBC, Disney, the split-up CBS...

However, with the powerful news-providing network of Umbrella Property, Happiness Property, and Family Property, it will inevitably thrive and eventually defeat them!
